Help other people find ESP-KVM

[dexif]

Hi all,

ESP-KVM is a project I work on alone, in my free time. There is no company behind it and no budget for ads, so most people who could use it simply never hear about it. If it has been useful to you, a few small things would help a lot:

• Star the repository. It sounds silly, but stars are how GitHub decides what to show to other people.
• Post about it yourself. A few lines on X, Mastodon, Bluesky, LinkedIn or wherever you are, with a photo of your setup if you have one. Tag @espkvm on X and I will repost it.
• Follow and repost. The project is on X (@espkvm), Telegram (t.me/espkvm) and YouTube (@espkvm). A repost of a release post reaches people I never could.
• Tell people where they already talk about KVMs. Homelab forums, r/homelab, r/selfhosted, Telegram or Discord chats, your blog. A short note about your setup is worth more than anything I can write about my own project.
• Show your build. Post a photo of your board, case and wiring in this discussion or in Show and tell. People trust a real setup more than a README.
• Report your board. If you run it on a board that is not in the list, or on a different revision, tell me what works and what does not. Every report helps the next person who buys that board.
• Mention it when someone asks for a cheap or DIY IP-KVM. Only where it fits the question, please - no copy-paste comments under other projects' posts.

If you wrote about it somewhere, leave a link below. I read everything, and I would like to thank you there.

Thank you for using it, and for every bug report so far.

🙂

I've been sharing it all around.

This might be nice hardware if we can re-flash it with this firmware:

I’d call it more of an existential threat to the project... ;) Time will tell. :)

I am trying to look on the positive side.
